Road works continue in town centre improvement
BBCImprovement works in a Surrey town will continue on Monday in preparation for temporary road closures next month.
Farnham town centre is to get wider pavements and more pedestrian controlled crossings, while two-way traffic will be introduced in parts of Downing Street and The Borough.
Surrey County Council (SCC) will start work on the eastern side of Downing Street on Monday, but the temporary closure will only take effect from 18 August.
From that date until 1 November, Downing Street will remain closed to through-traffic north of Lower Church Lane.
From 18 August the lower section of Downing Street, between Longbridge junction and Lower Church Lane, will open to two-way traffic.
This permanent change to the road network means Waggon Yard car park will remain open during the closure on Downing Street.
Going forward, this change will mean people will be able to exit the car park and travel to south Farnham without driving around the town centre.
Works to introduce a new junction layout at the junction of Longbridge, Union Road and Victoria Road which began in May are expected to last until mid-August.
